We arrived safely in Asheville after a quick 10 hour drive with Grandpa hauling a haul at lightning speeds. We settled in and played on our iPads while everyone buzzed around us getting ready for more family to arrive.

Mom kept us busy with crafts and games. I managed to misplace Hawksly, my Elf Pet. I had a meltdown as I was worried how he will help Santa if I am not hugging him and snuggling him to make him more magical for Santa. We had to go to Barnes and buy a new reindeer, Frostbite, so I could help out Santa. I carry my elf pet all over… you can see her striped socks on the floor behind the fox cross-stitch. Grandma Jo will look back in Venice for Hawksly and then ship him up to me when we all get home. Hopefully he is hiding int he house someplace.

We went out to see the new Peanuts movie. The weather was rather cold.

We did take several hikes around the lake.

B and I had the playground to ourselves and for the first time in years the tire swing didn’t have a lake under it.

Yes, I walked around the house like this. In front of my cousins. I am a nutter!

Dad made me a Rice Krispy turkey for Thanksgiving! It was vegetarian!

The only sliced turkey I will eat!

I had a great time playing games with family and hanging out with my cousins Anna, Micki and Taylor.
I loved the ride home in the new motorhome. I enjoy that I am free to move about and watch the world pass through different windows.

I even got a shot at the co-pilot seat. We are all loving the new motorhome.
